Pros

Ware Malcomb was a great company to work for. Office culture (in the local office) was great when I was there. It is a top 50 Architecture Firm in terms of revenue, and other firms/headhunters will seek you out if you are employed with a company like this. I felt like the company was a great stepping stone to get me to a position I really wanted to be in (with another company)

Cons

The project types definitely left something to be desired and if your job title did not have "designer" in it, then you will either be a technical person or an administrative person. They are big about efficiency and the bottom line, and admit that they run very lean, which can make for some more dramatic turns for the employees depending on how business is doing. The project types are light on design and technical aspects, and heavy on administration and dealing with agencies, which is not what I wanted out of my career. Working with other offices was also a challenge and power trips were common between PM's from different offices.

Pros

I'm happy to be working at Ware Malcomb! The atmosphere is friendly and people are generally nice and easy to work with. I like that Ware Malcomb takes care of its employees and encourages everyone to live active, health-conscious lifestyles, to pursue philanthropic endeavors, and to care about others inside and outside the company. It feels like a real team atmosphere, they don't just talk about it, they make it happen. Innovation and collaboration is encouraged.

Cons

You are expected to work hard but you are rewarded and recognized for your hard work.

Pros

This is a great place for an internship, as the firm takes on a variety of different projects and works through all stages of design. It is a medium sized office, allowing for a broad range of experiences without getting lost amongst the crowd. People are very friendly and pretty laid back - it's a work hard play hard mentality.

Cons

Low salary and can get stuck in a specific category
